Before the game started crashing, I had display problems with the rule book.

Then, all of a sudden, the game started crashing systematically, 100% of the time, when selecting a race (when clicking on the image of the race, any displayed race) at the first turn of the game. AI opponents were selecting their race without issue.

I downgraded to the release version (no crash), re-installed the beta (crashes came back).

Now, there seems to have been an update, I have switched back to French and there are no more crashes. Maybe there has been a fix since.

I still have random display problems with the rules, however (blank pages).

Yeah, my initial problem game has since been deleted, but I have no other crashes so far on the newest version. Best I can tell, the rule book seems to be working fine for me.
